Sustainable Agriculture Initiative
Let’s hope this isn’t just a slow news day, and that our local newspaper actually sees Food self-reliance as a major issue on our island.
Either way, it’s refreshing to find this story about Kauai growers seeking to inspire a more sustainable strategy for local food production on the front page.
Lifestyle writer Keya Keita interviewed a group of seven farmers on our North Shore who belive that “depending on outside resources for our fresh food seems ludicrous when everything under the sun can be grown right here.”
Collectively, these island entrepreneurs have been growing several-hundred types of vegetables, fruits and botanicals for a bunch of years.
Now, group leader Mary Mauger is working on a program to educate the community on the possibility of the “all Kaua‘i meal.”
Holding workshops on her farm and creating recipes that celebrate the extraordinary diversity of food grown locally, says Mauger, is the “beginning of helping people understand that everything we need is here. It’s not only healthier for ourselves, but healthier for the land.”
With all the difficulties in farming and the up-hill battle of gaining community support for sustainable methods, why do these farmers keep doing it?
Here’s wot they say:
“The experience of watching plants produce, and food grow”.
“To grow healthy food for the people”.
“To be in nature. To witness the process.”
“We eat like kings”.
“The lifestyle.”
The farmers sincerely hope that, “Kaua‘i’s community becomes involved in these issues and begins to change the way they see the food in the store and on the plate. We need the support of this island to make the future of food here viable,” said the group.
You go, island growers!
After all, a “100 mile diet” for Kauai means everything we eat will be grown on island
